What to watch for
- Renewal trap: the $8.75 intro price becomes $12.87/yr from year two — 1.5× the promo. Decide if you’d keep it at full price before buying.
- WHOIS privacy: Porkbun, Cloudflare, and Namecheap all include it free — never pay extra for privacy in 2026.
- Transfers beat renewals sometimes: registrars discount transfers to win customers; if your renewal looks expensive, price a transfer first.
- Before you commit: Strictly developer-audience; wrong for consumer products. Full .dev review covers whether it’s the right pick at all.
Our take on .dev
Best value in domains for anything developer-facing. Cheap, on-message, and HTTPS-enforced at the registry level. Read the full .dev review or see .dev price details.
